Just Give Me A Reason

"Should I or shouldn't I?" Just one of the many questions Rachel has on her mind. New school means new friends, new teachers and as always new enemies. One just so happens to be Louis Tomlinson. He's the most attractive, smart and according to all of his friends "gets all the girls" guy you would ever meet. But she takes an instant dislike to him. Nothing seems right about him but yet there's a nice side to him that hardly ever comes out. Will she bring out that side to him? Read on...

5. Oh Dear Lord Kill Me

After enduring fifty painful minutes of maths, we both head to our next class which happens to be English. Lucky me it's my favourite subject. No sarcasm intended.

"Ahh, you must be the new girl Rachel isn't it? Rachel Hunter?" The English teacher says as we walk into our class. "Yeah that's her name! Miss, can I sit next to her?" Lizzie says practically begging. The teacher shakes his head and points for me to sit next to... Oh dear Lord give me strength. Louis.

"But... But..." I stutter. "Well go on. You can't stand all day!" The teacher says pointing to the empty seat next to Louis again. "Wish I could though." I mutter, sitting down next to him.

"Hey hon." Louis says, smirking at me as I sit down. "Don't talk to me. Don't even look at me." I say, moving my seat out further away from him.

"Well I'm gonna have to aren't I? We have to work together." Louis says. Wait what? Lizzie sits down at the table across from me and frowns.

"It's only fifty minutes." She mouths at me. "I can't take freaking two seconds." I mouth back, making her laugh.

"Right everyone settle down!" The teacher announces, making the whole class go silent in a second. "I'm Mr Johnson and I'm your teacher for this term. Now be quiet while I'm taking the register." He starts calling out everyone's names and it comes down to me.

"Rachel?" Mr Johnson asks, looking around for me. I raise my hand and say "Here." Everyone's staring at me but I don't know why. Sure I'm new but god, don't make me feel like I'm in a freaking zoo.

"So like we do every new term, you will have to write out a presentation with a partner... Which I choose for you." The teacher says, shutting down the register on the computer and walking to the front of the class.

"First we have Elizabeth and David. Aluri and Michael. Zak and Amee. Saffron and Glen. Jasmine and Taylor. And lastly Rachel and Louis." My heart stops as he reads out my name and Louis's. I look over at Lizzie and I frown.

"I'm with David. He's so annoying!" She mouths. "I'm with Louis. How do you think I feel?" I mouth back. "True."

"So, Rach." Louis says, turning to me. "No nicknames." I say back. "Rach, we have to work together which means spending time together." He says firmly.

"Fine, just don't try anything or ill get my boyfriend to wish you were dead." He raises his eyebrow at me and then sniggers. "I can do what I want."

After all of our classes had ended, I head back to my room and grab my laptop. I needed to talk to Danny. I click on Skype and phone him. "Rach! Why didn't you answer this morning? I missed talking to you." Danny says with a sad look on his face. "Sorry, I woke up late for class. I couldn't answer this morning. I have had the worst day ever." I say. "What's wrong? Did someone say something to you? Tell me and I'll-" I cut him off before he could finish and say "I have to work with... Someone who's not good." Lizzie yells in the background "She has to work with Louis who's a right douche." "Why is he a douche?" Danny says with a slight laugh in his voice. "Long story. I can't wait until this term ends so we can talk properly." I say. "So can I. It's not the same without you." Danny says smiling a little. "Everyone downstairs for dinner!" The lady yells. She ruins everything for me... "Dan, I need to go. I promise to call you tomorrow. Bye." I say, scrolling the mouse over to the hang up button. "Ok. Bye. Love you." He frowns. I hang up and put the laptop away. Dinner can wait... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New reader? Click dat like, favourite and/or comment and budder 💛💛💛 if you're a squid then no budder for you. Rachel xx
